Election for #Seattle Mayor is still too close to call.

#KatieWilson is 91 votes ahead of incumbent #BruceHarrell.

6,500 votes left to count with 1,700 "problem" ballots - signature verification issues.

I love the fact that #KatieWilson granted me an exclusive interview for our non-profit news organization @democracywatchnews.bsky.social while she made all the big name corporate media wait until her press conference to ask her questions.

1/2 #Trump regime's immigration policy and anti-woke campaign is racist. His rhetoric harkens back to #Mussolini's "Make Italy Great Again" movement, and his use of federal troops is an attempt to enforce his personal will on the people.

It's called #fascism.

I just found out that my puppet #PunkySpookerina and I were seen on #ESPN as part of a story about #BryanLash who has been performing on drums with us outside of #TMobilePark during #Mariners games.

Soon Punky will want her own talent agent!

More of my photos from #Seattle #protest. City's largest #NoKings march and rally so far. Nearly 90,000 people participated.

Rally emcee Soumyo Lahiti-Gupta from #OneAmerica told me energy for this march surpassed the previous event.

#Seattle fans celebrated in the streets last night after their historic 15 inning victory over #Detroit Tigers.

My friend Chris Anderson set up his drum kit and we rocked outside
T Mobile Park.

I was interviewed by local ABC affiliate and met the #Mariners moose!

We all had a great time at the #Greenstage mini #Shakespeare festival at #WoodlandPark on Saturday. Was cool meeting up with old friends whom I've worked with in the past doing the Bard's plays.

Their version of #RichardIII was relevant to today's corrupt #Trumpian authoritarianism.

My reply to @authorpcorrell.bsky.social -

I wear a velvet fedora, slacks and suit jackets. Some of us still like to dress nicely. My jazz musician friends still wear suits.

Here I am with a beautiful #Triumph at the annual car show at #Seafair #hydroplane races on the shores of Lake Washington.

#SouthPark is back tonight and the teaser shows some sort of #ICE raid, including an animated version of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem holding up a handgun in front of photographers. The real-life DHS took a screen grab from the teaser and posted it on X yesterday.
